Question

question 41
the type of epithelium that lines the urinary bladder, ureters and part of the urethra is:
a transitional
b simple squamous
c simple cuboidal
d simple columnar

Explanation:

Transitional epithelium is specialized to stretch and accommodate changes in volume. The urinary bladder, ureters, and part of the urethra need to expand and contract as urine is stored and transported. Simple squamous epithelium is thin and for diffusion (e.g., alveoli). Simple cuboidal is for secretion and absorption (e.g., kidney tubules). Simple columnar is for secretion and absorption (e.g., digestive tract).

Answer:

A. transitional
